This is additionally provided with a Automatic Gas Filling Adaptor which simplifies the Oxygen filling procedure. The valve opens and allows filling of Bomb with Oxygen because of Oxygen pressure for cylinder. It closes when pressure from Oxygen Cylinder is cut off.
Our latest design of easy to use Gas Filling System greatly reduces of damage to the costly Gas Filling Tubes with our latest design of Stainless Steel braided PTFE Hose. Our tests have indicated that this new Gas Filling System reduces the time taken for Oxygen charging from around 10-13 minutes (using the copper tube) to less than 3 minutes (using the new Gas Filling System) while simultaneously avoiding chances of cross-threading & subsequent damage to the Gas Filling System.

FAQs of Isothermal Bomb Caloriemeter BCM-P:
Q: How does the BCM-P Isothermal Bomb Calorimeter measure calorific values?
A: The BCM-P measures calorific values by combusting a small sample inside a high-grade stainless steel bomb vessel, surrounded by an integrated water jacket. The microprocessor-controlled system detects the resulting temperature rise, which is used to calculate the energy content of the sample with high accuracy.
Q: What safety features are included in the BCM-P model?
A: To ensure operator safety, the BCM-P incorporates overpressure protection, an automatic cut-off, robust safety interlocks, and a water jacket cooling system. These features collectively minimize risks from high-pressure oxygen and high temperatures during combustion.
Q: When is calibration of the calorimeter required, and how is it performed?
A: Calibration is typically performed before initial use and periodically as part of standard laboratory procedures. The calorimeter is calibrated using the supplied standard benzoic acid, following the user manual to ensure test accuracy and reliable performance.
Q: Where can the BCM-P Isothermal Bomb Calorimeter be installed?
A: Designed as a benchtop device, the BCM-P is suitable for installation in research laboratories, fuel testing facilities, and educational institutions. It requires access to a 230 V AC, 50 Hz power supply and a suitable environment with up to 80% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Q: What is the typical process for conducting a calorific value test with the BCM-P?
A: To conduct a test, a 0.51.5 g sample is prepared and placed in the high-grade stainless steel bomb. After filling with oxygen (up to 30 atm), the vessel is sealed and inserted into the calorimeter. The system runs an automatic analysis cycle, with results displayed digitally and available for export in 1015 minutes.
Q: How can users benefit from the BCM-Ps data output features?
A: Users can export measurement data as CSV files for statistical analysis or print results directly using the devices printer compatibility and RS-232/USB ports. This facilitates efficient record-keeping, integration with laboratory systems, and easy sharing or archiving of results.
Q: What makes the BCM-P suitable for research and education purposes?
A: The BCM-P offers high accuracy (0.1%), rapid analysis, robust safety, and easy data handlingattributes that make it ideal for research labs and educational programs requiring dependable and repeatable calorimetric tests for a wide variety of materials.
